I finally got the courage to tell him to get up. He did. I then told him to take me home so we could talk and he calmly obliged. By the way, i'm guessing that Tobe had no hand in what happened from the look on his face. I think he was more shocked than I was cos he was still holding his spoonful of soup halfway to his mouth. As we left the restaurant, I could have died in shame for I felt the sea of heads piercing their eyes into my back probably wondering like me, what had happened. When we got to my apartment, I offered him some water. I was a little shaky and some of my coordination took a hike that evening. When I finally got settled, I explained to him the reason why I hadn’t given him a reply to his proposal; I didn’t want to embarrass him. I also told him that I couldn’t get married to him and I gave him my reasons. He sat there motionless, having no readable expression on his face. I decided to give him time to process things so I stood to go to the kitchen b...

We stuck together all through our years in the university and still are friends. They have been the best friends I’ve ever had and would never think of losing them. Something happened. It had been four years after the university and we all have successful careers but we made it a principle to meet up and catch up with each other so that we’d never become too busy for each other. We really hated that most friendships often come to an end when friends drift apart while they all floated on the platform of excuses made up as a result of their jobs, schools, relationships and whatever causes good friends to become acquaintances at the end of the day. On one of those night outs with the guys, something really strange happened. We were in a restaurant eating and making fun of each other when suddenly Dare got down on one knee holding out a ring to me and asked me to marry him. It looked like a movie scene because all eyes seemed to be on me in the restaurant. I choked on the sal...

There are only two people in my life that I can call friends: Dare and Tobe. They are the nicest guys on earth and I love them as if they were my blood. They both have the propensity to act all big brother-like to me and I let them. It gives me a sense of safety. Our history dates back to our days as undergraduates. I had just arrived campus as the latest jambite and was at a loss on how to locate my department. I had tried to get directions from some students but they all seemed to be in a hurry and the ones who weren’t, had no clue. I’m guessing it must have been as a result of the heroin I smelled in some of their breaths. I wondered about the large premises for a while before I stumbled into the duo. Luckily for me, they were both in my department and in the same level as me. They not only took me to the department, they also brought me up to speed on classes, notes I had missed and they gave me a tour of the university. Tobe was a light-skinned young man who wore a pa...

For three days I looked for my copy of the key to my house but couldn't find it. I would take a walk to my cousin's workplace to get his own key to gain access to the house. But you know, the key was somewhere in the bag I carry daily. Until I dug deep into the bag, looking into all pockets, I only guessed I had lost it. You think you have lost out on life maybe because of a mistake in the past, failure in a job or career, delay in achieving success; and you are about giving up on yourself and to depend on hand-outs? Dig Down, go deep; the key to your success/break-out/break-in is within you. #powerSUNDAY #youcan #itsinyou #digdeep
